Lubrication Procedure (Rotation Bearing)

Regular lubrication of the rotating bearing is necessary to ensure long life and proper
performance.
The rotating bearing must be greased after the grapple is installed on the machine.
If used daily, lubricate the rotation bearing daily. If used intermittently, lubricate every
40 hours.
Under extremely dusty or dirty conditions, sufficient grease should be used to flush out
contaminated grease.
If the grapple is being stored, thoroughly grease the rotation bearing so that the
grease can be seen venting at the seals. While in storage the bearing should be
greased at least twice a year. Grease more frequently in harsher conditions.
Lubrication Procedure:
1. Pump grease into the grease fittings.
2. Rotate the grapple at least twice.
3. Grease again.
4. Rotate the grapple at least twice.
5. Grease again.
This will ensure proper distribution of grease around the bearing circle.
